Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOver fifteen years passed from the time of discovery (1957), that Adolf Eichmann was living in Argentina, until the man responsible received the award (1972), that had been promised. However, Lothar Hermann, a blind half-Jewish refugee, did not receive official recognition by Israel, albeit posthumously, until 2012.
- GoofsIn real life, the aircraft used to take Eichmann to Israel was a Bristol Britannia. However, these turboprop machines had very short working lives due to the popularity of jets and thus none were available for the film. As a result a Boeing 707 jetliner was used instead in the film. Worse, it appears to be a JT3D-engined Intercontinental (a -320B or -320C) even though the -320B did not first fly until 1962 and the -320C was not introduced until 1964.

Featured review
Impressive as ever.
I knew a movie with Robert Duvall in the lead would have to have a pretty plausible explanation for going straight to video ,and of course,this is a made for TV film which just goes to show how far Duvall's amazing acting potential stands.
It was quite well told,and was of course,brilliantly acted by all the leads involved.Eichmann's story was interesting and factual.We see him waver between his past and present worlds as a one time savage war crimanal,responsible for unspeakable acts of human atrocity,to his present state as a feeble,helpless old man who evokes genuine human sympathy.
A quite impressive made for TV movie.Well worth seeing.
